St. Francis of Assisi

Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone (1181 – 3 October 1226)

 

Welcome to a new little “Dead Celebrities” series I’m doing, ‘cuz I wanna. I’m talking to dead Spiritual leaders, educators and figures. Jesus, Buddha, Quan Yin… others that I can’t think of right now. I’m going to talk to a bunch of them. Stick around.

This convo got me looking up the difference between immanence and transcendence. It’s different. I didn’t know.

“Emotions are powerful because they are impeccable guidance.”

Well thank you St. Francis.

We know him for poverty, chastity and obedience. These are not necessarily what they seem. I enjoyed this chat. I’m not surprised that the mystics are making any appearance.
